Some Suzuki Grand Vitara owners report experiencing excessive oil consumption, with instances of using 9 quarts over just 700 miles, which indicates a serious engine issue that requires immediate attention. This level of oil consumption is significantly above normal and can lead to detrimental effects on engine components and overall vehicle performance. Owners are advised to address this problem promptly to prevent further damage and ensure the proper functioning of their vehicle. Potential causes for such excessive consumption may include issues with piston rings, valve guide seals, or other internal engine components. It is highly recommended that owners seek professional assistance from a mechanic or dealership to diagnose the root cause and implement necessary repairs.
